Sculptural vase 'Star' - Josef Hospodka for Chřibská Glassworks - Bohemia

Sublime sculptural vase in Bohemian glass, designed by the iconic designer Josef Hospodka for the Chřibská Sklárna factory around 1960. This centerpiece of Mid-Century Modern design stands out with its organic silhouette featuring five lobes that stretch gracefully, creating a dynamic and elegant star-shaped form. The technical mastery is exceptional: a deep "Cranberry" pink core is encased in a thick mass of colourless crystal. A high-quality detail: a delicate pink rim precisely outlines the entire neck, the result of a masterful stretching of the colour to the tips of the lobes, enhancing the relief and contouring of the piece. Quality of craftsmanship: The substantial weight (1.176 kg) and exceptional refraction testify to a superior glass density. The base is perfectly ground and polished flat, a sign of high-end studio finishing. Its fluid shape fits perfectly with current decoration trends (Space Age, Organic). • Condition: Excellent, no chips or cracks, usage scratches under the base are a testament to its age and authenticity. • Dimensions: Height 24cm | Neck diameter 12cm. Shipping: I guarantee professional "ultra-secure" packaging. The vase will be protected by multiple layers of high-density bubble wrap and shipped in a reinforced double-walled cardboard box for absolute protection against shocks.
